I dont think you will lose or gain anypower.

EGR and emissions stuff you gotta change but thats about it.

uh, im only changing the head not the whole engine. my head has a crazy click/knock and the mechanic told me to change the head. he said it is knocking because maybe timing belt. it hasn't been changed for a long time. he also said it's my lifters? i dont know that's why i need to change my head. i dont want anything else to worry about. i just want a nice quiet ride. without the knock knock knock are you there sound.
anyone know? im changing my head this weekend so i need to know asap. i dont want to make a mistake. also the head is 100 bucks. does that sound like a good deal?
also i just remembered about the obd1 obd2 stuff. what do i need to change? things that need to go out? things needed to be added? things needed to be replaced (ex: distributor, etc). thanks. this is urgent i need help! where are all the knowledgable guys at? tongue.gif
soo.. is it the head or the timing belt... because they're very different things. tongue.gif When was the last time the timing belt was changed?

If you're doing the timing belt, you should also consider doing the waterpump, tensioner, idle pulley, the associated seals (crank/cam/etc) since they're all in the same area and it'll save on the overall labour. Do a search on the topics here for more info.
if there is a knocking from a head then its your valves knocking...it might be going bad(bent valve, loose valve, etc)

that's what i was sayin! thank you!
hey team omega, u know where that eastside import shop is right? that hmong owned auto place? i took it there and the guy said i needed a new head so it can't be my timing. i took it to young auto on maryland st and the owner said i needed a new engine. he also said it could be my timing belt. i mean if it was my timing, my engine would not be running this long (9 months).
^yeah, i know where young auto is, my uncle owns the place, try changing the head if you're on a budget, otherwise if you have a lil more $, swap in another 5sfe, and if you have tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, do a 3sgte swap yo!!!!!!

i did search. otherwise if i searched i wouldn't be here. i found an old thread on pressure's 94 to 98 swap. but that didn't help me one bit.
